True or False

Updated on

True or False questions assess student comprehension of information presented in the lesson. Remediation should be provided in the form of the correct answer for students who answer incorrectly.

True or False questions appear in Question Time in the Exploration tab or in Competency Review in the Evaluation tab. They can be added to lessons through the Question Customization tool or the Custom Lesson Authoring tool.
